So this is when I started asking around.

I knew a few people from the town that she previously lived in.

So I sent a text out to someone and I said,

Hey, you know, this person's giving me some creepy vibes.

Here's what's happening. Who are they?

They immediately text me back. Do not let your children around your daughters.

And as a mother, I can still feel my stomach just drop out thinking, oh my God, who is this person and who have I let into my life?

I'm Jamie Beebe. And I'm Jake Deptula.

On today's episode of Strictly Stalking, we're speaking with Cody, who met her stalker

through her small business.

What started as a friendly customer interaction quickly turned into something far more intense.

The messages never stopped.

The visits became too frequent and too far out of the way to be a coincidence.

What first felt like a connection slowly revealed itself as something darker. As the behavior

escalated, so did the red flags. Possessiveness, manipulation, and a growing sense that Cody

wasn't just being watched. She was being pulled into something she couldn't control.

When she cut ties, it didn't end.

It unraveled. And what she discovered about this woman and the danger surrounding her would turn a

short-lived friendship into a lasting trauma. Cody, thank you for joining us today. Yes, thank you guys

so much for having me. I appreciate it. What would you like to share about your life and your

passion for starting this business? I'm a stay-at-home mom, and I have four kids. I've been

running this business from home for about 10 years now or coming up on 10 years. I'm super outgoing.
